Solidge Information

Frame design: Solid Edge speeds the development of rigid frame structures, beginning with intuitive 3D sketching tools that allow you to quickly define the frame skeleton.

Weldments: A customized command set in Solid Edge accelerates design of weldments. The weldment environment assists in defining the constituent parts of weldments, as well as weld beads, pre-weld surface treatments and machining operations after the welds are applied.

Piping and tubing: Solid Edge XpresRoute is an integrated add-on package that eases the design of routed systems. A comprehensive set of design tools help designers quickly route and model piping and tubing in Solid Edge assemblies. Designers can easily create a 3D path for the routed components to follow and the tube or piping system is created along the path segments, using specified attributes such as size, color, extents and end treatments. For piping systems, 3D pipes, fittings and components are automatically positioned and correctly oriented upon population

Wiring and cabling: Solid Edge XpresRoute also supports the routing and creation of cable and wiring systems. After creating the 3D path, using the same tools available for tubing and piping, the designer can select different connect points on the path segments to define single wires, cables (multiple wires making up a single cable, such as with coaxial) and trunk wires (independent wires that merge into common segments).

Standard parts: Solid Edge Standard Parts is a powerful parts management system that allows designers to define, store, select and position commonly used parts - like fasteners, bearings, pipe fittings and structural steel members - quickly and efficiently, enabling rapid and precise completion of 3D assemblies

. Photorealistic and artistic rendering: Virtual Studio+ is an optional, add-on package that sets a new bar for photorealistic rendering capability and performance. Virtual Studio+ extends the Virtual Studio environment that is delivered with every copy of Solid Edge, adding a huge selection of material libraries, backgrounds and foregrounds, textures, scenery and light sources. Virtua Studio+ also includes unique artistic rendering for creating a pencil drawn, cartoon, or black and white shaded looks, offering Solid Edge customers a full range of rendering options for concept reviews right through to promotional materials.

Mold design: The Solid Edge Mold Tooling application provides a powerful automated workflow that makes it fast and easy to design plastic injection molds. With standard component libraries and capabilities to support the design of multi-core, multi-cavity plastic injection molds of unlimited size, including complex 3-plate and stripper-plate molds

Solid Edge is the CAD component of the new UGS Velocity Series, the industry's first comprehensive, pre-configured portfolio of digital product design, analysis and data management software. By implementing the complete UGS Velocity Series, customers can take advantage of single-source support as they reap the benefits of a fully integrated an managed design discipline

Teamcenter Express : A new, tight integration with Teamcenter, the defacto standard in cPDM, is now available with Solid Edge Version 18, giving customers a choice of scalable cPDM solutions. Setting a new standard for tight integration, transparency and breadth of commands covered, no other solution will match this level of close and cooperative integration. While Solid Edge Insight continues to offer proven management capabilities for single-site, departmental teams with basic workflow needs, Teamcenter Express provides more sophisticated pre-configured workflow capabilities for multiCAD, multisite implementations at companies implementing a more complete PLM solution. These new capabilities deliver a groundbreaking PDM user experience, modeled on the success of Solid Edge Insight. Now customers with varying needs can take advantage of single-vendor support for both CAD and PDM

FEMAP Express :Created specifically for design engineers, Femap Express provides pre-configured, best practice, process guidance to the user for simple finite element analysis. Femap Express uses the included, industry standard NX Nastran, to solve two main analysis types -- 'Static' where stress, safety factor and deflection can be analyzed and 'Modal' to find the natural frequency of components.

Wire Harness Design : Wire Harness design package is equipped with a full suite of tools that allowmanual intervention for wire creation, quick editing of the automated process and allows convenient harness design, to those without access to electrical wiring and design packages.

Diagramming : Solid Edge Version 18 introduces new diagramming capabilities, using industry-standard Blocks (also referred to as symbols) to automate the creation of basic electrical and P&ID diagrams in Solid Edge, without the need for a complete schematics system. Users simply drag and drop Blocks into Solid Edge 'on the fly' and then 'connect' them with dedicated connectors using any standard key-point

Electrode Design :Solid Edge will create a solid model of the electrode, using pre- defined parameters to adjust for the spark gap. Electrodes are created for the rough, semi-finish and finish stages of manufacture, and all remain associative to the original mold design so any changes will be automatically recognized and the electrodes will update accordingly
